Long shot, but yesterday after touring an apartment near Cary, I briefly talked to a resident at the dog park who was playing with his German Shepherd. You were really nice, and I realized afterward that I forgot to ask for your number.
If you happen to see this, feel free to message me.
I need outside opinions because I feel stuck and I’m not sure I’m thinking clearly right now.
I recently developed a strong crush on my coach. I ended my membership because I couldn’t stop thinking about him and needed some distance to clear my head.
Nothing has happened between us. We only communicated through work email, and I never asked for his number or anything personal. He has a girlfriend and keeps things professional, so I assume he wouldn’t be open to anything casual.
Now I’m conflicted about what to do next. He’s been friendly and even suggested I come back more often. Part of me wants to renew my membership so I can see him again, but part of me thinks keeping distance is the healthier choice.
On top of that, I’m in a dead bedroom marriage and trying to plan my exit, but it’s going to take time due to career constraints. Meanwhile, my libido is through the roof and driving me crazy.
Has anyone been in a situation like this where you felt strong attraction to someone you couldn’t pursue? Did you lean into it or create distance? What actually helped you move forward?
